It is interesting to note that the window watching program
I have a copy of does not work if you change your xterm to
run in "Secure Keyboard" mode (Press control and left mouse
in an xterm and select the top item). I always use this mode
when typing in passwords, although I'm not sure whether it could
be circumvented by a knowledgable hacker.
